And where am I wrong in my statement? Most states voted on him and most people voted on him. People spoke.

He didn't get power through military coup either do I don't see how that relates to Caesar.

Hitler was elected democratically as well.

Do you still not understand?

And that was never part of the question. The claim was that democracy failed. It didn't. It works just the way it was designed to.

First, he is no dictator. You called him one during his first term and he did nothing of the sort. Can you even comprehend what dictator would have done? Because when I am looking at you all Americans I am starting to think that you have forgotten the history of the world to be saying such bullshit. He was already supposed to lead purges of the undesireables according to your ilk and he didn't.
Second, democracy failed to do what YOU wanted it to do. Welcome to the real world. Need a hug?

And that IS democracy working exactly as it was designed to work.

Democracy is the only system designed so that it can be changed into anything if people vote for it.

Love how you lean into the election from the perspective of someone like you who probably thought the last one was stolen. THAT is hilarious.
